Hi Kevin,
Derby does support databases stored in jar files. This is described in
the Derby Developer's Guide
(http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.3/devguide/) in a subsection called
"Accessing databases from a jar or zip file". Just follow these headings
to get to that subsection:
JDBC applications and Derby basics
Derby embedded basics
Connecting to databases
Special database access
Accessing databases from a jar or zip file
Hope this helps,
-Rick

Hello,
Maybe I have just missed this in the archives...
I am creating a Java desktop app that will only perform read-only accesses
(selects only) on some derby databases. I would like to compress the databases
using either jar or pack200. But, does derby support databases stored this
way? If so, can someone please point me to a page that explains how to do this?
Thanks,
Kevin
